| Title | Failure to Take Prompt Corrective Actions for Conditions Adverse to Quality Associated with the PAB Crane |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated Non-Cited Violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for the licenses failure to implement prompt corrective actions for the degraded conditions initially identified with the single failure proof primary auxiliary building crane by maintenance personnel on January 17, 2008. As a result, on March 4, while a new fuel storage canister was being lowered in a laydown area after traversing the width of the spent fuel pool, the crane failed to the safe position with the load suspended approximately one foot off the floor. In a review of work order and corrective action history, the inspectors determined that all of the degraded conditions from January were not corrected during maintenance on February 21. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program and took immediate corrective actions, including repair of the crane. The licensee continued to evaluate the causes and corrective actions to address this finding at the end of the inspection period. The finding is more than minor because it could reasonably be viewed as a precursor to a significant event. Specifically, the failure to correct the degraded condition of the primary auxiliary building crane resulted in the failure of the single failure proof crane while in use to move loads over the spent fuel pool. The finding affected the Barrier Integrity Cornerstone and is of very low safety significance (Green) because this spent fuel pool issue did not result in the loss of spent fuel pool cooling, did not result in damage to fuel clad integrity in the spent fuel pool, and did not result in a loss of spent fuel pool inventory. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution because the licensee did not take appropriate corrective actions in a timely manner, commensurate with their safety significance and complexity (P.1(d)).
